Earthquake in Modena

I spent the night from saturday to sunday in the "Planet-Hotel" just opposite the main
entrance of the Ferrari factory. Probably absolutely no damage to the factory. We were
shaken quite haevely but without any damage in the Hotel. 6 hours before the quake
the cars from the Mille Miglia drove through the Ferrari Factory.

 

There's been another earthquake, with fatalities - deepest sympathy to those who've suffered loss of loved ones or homes. Losing a factory or a car is of no importance in comparison......

It's been shaking all morning. Big one at 9am. Many buildings were damaged from the previous ones so no big surprise some of them crashed. Before someone asks, I read Ferrari and Ducati have closed today, and my friends in Maser and Lambo had to leave the buildings, but that's not the important when there are 11 dead and thousands without access to their homes.

 

I work for a company that monitors catastrophes so I have early details.

- At least 10 people were killed; fatalities from San Felice del Panaro, Mirandola, Concordia, and Finale (2,3)
